Project: “Literary Vladimir Land” Completed by Dmitry Yegorov The 5 th course Vyazniki 2014

My name is Dima. I’d like to invite you to make a literary tour around Vladimir land. Our native land is famous not only for its architecture. It is famous for its very talented writers. There are a lot of places connected with the names of outstanding Russian writers. These names are well known in the world.

Let is begin with the nineteenth century. Who does not know the name of a great writer A.I.Odoevskiy. He is a representative of the ancient noble family. You can see his birthplace not far from Yuriev-Polsky. In 1828 he sent a poem to A.Pushkin as the answer to Pushkin's poem.

The next famous Russian writer whose name is connected with our land is K.Balmont. He was born in Vladimir land not far from Sure. He got his education in Vladimir lyceum number one, now it is school number one. He is known as one of the best poets of the "Silver age". He was against the October revolution that's why he left Russia for France and died there.

In our days Vladimir land is famous for its writers and poets too. Who doesn't know the name of S.Nikitin. I'm sure that you read his stories, such as "Alive Water", "Dasha" and others. He was born in Kovrov. The main topic of his books is nature, the beauty of Vladimir land, relations between people.

Every year in Vyazniki is held a festival devoted to A.Fatyanov. Lovers of his poems come here to recite poems and to listen to his songs.

So as you can see, our Vladimir literature is very rich. I think we can be proud of our writers and poets.
